Q: What's the difference between the Never-Ending Story and my quest for a Revolutionary New Dating Paradigm (RNDP)?

A: The Never-Ending Story actually ended.

New Research Results relevant to daters:

"Dating culture is dead - instead, young New Zealand women are regularly getting drunk and cruising around in packs looking for men to have sex with. " [4D: This must be true because it was on TV.]

Fidelity is all about chemistry? "Males in some species of pair-bonding mammals have their lifelong attachment triggered by vasopressin release, and studies of men in monogamous relationships find a correlation between low vasopressin levels and high levels of marital strife." [4D: Only on the radio. Best to take this with a grain of salt-peter.]

New Resources for Daters:

Cosmopolitan's Experts say you can learn 55 things about a man in 10 minutes. The only hitch is that it will be a very busy 10 minutes. To learn the 55 things, along with observing his speaking patterns and hair style, you'll have to:

Learn his favourite sports and TV shows;

Find out how long he's been hanging with his friends,

See what he does when it's time to pay,

Find out if he drinks, smokes or gambles;

Learn his online communication preferences;

See how he behaves at a party;

Observe his driving style;

Determine when and how often he likes to have sex and what his pattern is on who initiates it;

See what he orders in a restaurant;

Learn whether he is tidy or messy;

See his underwear; and

Have sex with him several times.
